Wow George…as a struggling 66 years old beginner painter who learns better when he knows why you do what you do this helped me immensely. I was at the point of knowing you need a shadow and highlight…now I know more than why.

Classical Order Of Light. That's COOL

I wish they’d taught us that in art school-hopefully now my drawings will have more depth. Thank you for the clear understanding & illustration

Two years of art school, clearly I was away the day the covered this(?!). Struggled with contrast during drawing+ values when painting. Thank you.

Thank you for the refresher. I went to a small 2 year art school & they did teach this. I recall drawing and shading many spheres, cylinders, cubes, and cones .

The art school i went to taught this way. We learned to do pencil renderings in black and white first. Absolutly no color the entire first semester. When I later took a black and white photography class it was so easy for me, because I'd already learned what made a dynamic composition in black and white.

Thank you! Your thorough explanation will help me immensely I am a beginner watercolor painter, but have been doodle drawing since a child. How helpful to know the “why” before the”how”.

Thank you so much, learning the names to the shadows helps me a lot, this is something I have real problems with but that made it seem so simple!

You are such a gem! I stumbled across one of your videos doing a search for a specific term and my afternoon disappeared watching several of your videos. They are so informative and your generosity in sharing your knowledge is to be commended. I’ve paid money for hours of classes where I got less helpful info than you shared freely, and more succinctly, in just minutes! This one, however, is just what I needed to help a fellow painter understand why her paintings lacked depth. Your identification of the shadows and where they belong was exactly what she needed to understand why I commented on the need for more separation of values; her shadowing was incorrect. We both learned so much from this video. THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge with the world in such a helpful and easy to share way!

Thank you for explaining that in such a clear and uncomplicated way…. fantastic!! You are a natural born teacher in my opinion, and gosh I wish I’d had you as a teacher way back when. I will watch for future tutorials 👏

Great to see real world examples of the "classical order of light" phenomena with your paintings as well as the Singer Sargent one at the beginning

so helpful ~ thank you. I have been taking an art class for the past 3 months and part of it was understanding shading... and I feel still lost to understand clearly and here you appear AND make such logical sense of it all... thank yo so very VERY Very much!!! :)

[kazallen]

Thank you, that was big help.As i watched the video the sun light was coming on my desk. Shadows were cast and made lots of sense, I saw it as you spoke. Thank you!!

Thank you so much George for this tutorial on shadows. I used to love art at school and had some brilliant teachers. I loved it but then I left has a way of getting in the way and kicking me up the arse and after several starts and many brick walls called life getting in the way again I' ve finally started to get into it again. And I'm really enjoying it now. But delighted to learn all these new found techniques and so many different new paints available and so many different papers and stuff. I'm like a child left loose in a sweet shop I'm loving it but I've been so long away I can honestly say I'm way back to the beginner stage again. But still I have no complaints. In my day All we had is the one kind of paper which was not great and was no where near the quality we have now and the paints were these jars of powder paints that were not the most pleasant to work with. The paints now are a joy to use. Having YouTube is Gods blessing to me it's like having a teacher in your own home every day and I' ve learned so much and have peace at the same time. I always had a bit of a problem with shading though so I'm very grateful for this. You explain it in a way that is very easy to understand. Thank you so much George. Susan

Great video! This was so useful and helped me understand this concept. I need to know why I'm doing something so I can do it all the time. Please don't ever take this video down. It's my reference from now on.

Thank you so much, George, for this amazingly helpful tutorial ❤

[AKpaperpirates]

Thank you. As a self taught beginner watercolor-er, I found this extremely useful. Very conscientious and made perfect sense as I really started looking at object like this
I love your channel and recommend it to anyone novice or expert. Blessings

This is exactly what I have been searching for. Thank you so so
